After bringing a new life into the world, the last thing you need to stress about is getting your old body back. It can take at lease 6 weeks to get back pre-baby workout level and 3 to 9 months to lose baby weight.
Here are a few simple exercises that you can do anywhere, at anytime:
Walk ! Not only is it cardio but easy and you can do it any where and can fit it into your daily schedule.
Baby Superman/woman - this is a great way to target your back and arms. Hold your baby so your facing each other and lift him/her up in the air as far as you can go and then bring them back down. Then just repeat.
Isometrics - Sit up straight, breath in and out wait 7 seconds while keeping your abs nice and tight. Repeat 10 times before you relax.
Circuit Training - Set the clock for 10 minutes, and do 10 push ups, 10 squats, 10 jumping jacks, and 10 crunches in that sequence. Repeating that sequence at your own pace for 10 minutes will give your body a full body work out.
Sleep! - This is something that is very important and usually over looked by new mommies. Sleeping when the baby sleeps instead of doing housework or catching up on work. Hormones that control appetite and help the body to reduce stress are only activated when sleeping.
